Don’t be too put off by all this fiddling about - once you get this baby set up right it is amazing. There are a few places on YouTube where a simple search will give you tips. CSP has an unintuitive opaque UI that would leave you airless in a mineshaft if you weren’t too careful. ³ This is something that Procreate doesn’t try to do for good reason. Sorry and thankyou guys - I made some of my best art using your terrific stuff. The £60.99 annual subscription is now heading to the pockets of CSP.

If you want to make it cheaper I won’t complain. Looking through completed artwork is way better - with CSP it is like pulling teeth and I tend to avoid it. The file management system is horrible - so many steps for exporting artwork. The myriad opaque UI choices are frankly bizarre (but don’t change anything yet because I have only just got things how I like them!). Although this makes me a little sad about great tech becoming redundant, the big screen is great for seeing the work put together. Affinity photo and my desktop copy of CSP exist for the sole purpose of being a big glossy compositional screen. The artwork then gets exported via airdrop or directly through iTunes to my 5k iMac which gets used as a final layout platform. The brushes are all carefully imported ones that are limited to what I find useful⁴. ![]() I took ages adjusting the CSP user interface to reflect how I actually work. So far I have seen nothing to undermine this, and if you add in the point made by Frenden that an iPad Pro is a form of away-from-your-desk freedom, the cost savings become clear. The Apple Pencil translates immediately into a better-than-Wacom experience and the ability to import/modify custom brushes means that this app just stole the lunch money of a lot of crying competitors. The iPad version of CSP is bizarrely as good/better than the desktop Mac version. It easily handles multi-page creation². ![]()

I'll give it another few listens before settling on a score. I must say I enjoyed this and while I'm not planning to buy it nor do I expect to add it to my regular playlists I'm certainly happy to have spent a couple of hours listening to it for the club. It is telling that Bolin is involved in or leads the writing on every song bar one (it is no coincidence that it is the only near clunker on the album) a vocal harmony song called Rather Be Alone With You (Song For Dale).Īnother Time is the most overtly funky song on the album, but is again lifted by Bolin's excellent lead guitar in the second half - where he gets a bit Santana-ish.Īs an album its not startlingly original and sits alongside the Doobie Brothers, Grand Funk Railroad etc but it's certainly not bad. This is most apparent on songs Iike Alexis which frankly start out a bit limp but which kicks into gear half way through and ends with an excellent guitar solo. The mood is mellow (as Ted Nugent used to say) and overall the album is a fairly lightweight affair but it is lifted from Bread-like MOR territory by the excellent fretwork of Tommy Bolin. Slightly funky, slightly country but most definitely early 70s American guitar rock. The album starts off reasonably strong with Standing In The Rain and the Devil Is Singing Our Song. I certainly prefer Roy Kenner's vocals to Walsh's and the guitar playing from Bolin is at least on a par. John Davidson: I'd always associated James Gang with Joe Walsh so it was a bit of a surprise to find that this album featured Tommy Bolin in pre-Deep Purple mode rather than Walsh and that they had produced two albums with Roy Kenner on vocals and with a different guitarist post Walsh before this one. Bolin's guitar work is in the next stratosphere offering solos as tasty as a barrel of KFC." ( RateYourMusic (opens in new tab)) Tracks like Ride The Wind, Got No Time For Trouble and the Bolin-lead Alexis never garnered much FM fanfare but as are as relevant and as genuine as it gets. "Roy Kenner serves up arena rock vocals and the steady and under-rated rhythm section of Peters and Fox make this an absolute must-have. "There’s no doubt that Tommy was still refining the art of songwriting, which would receive the full glare of the spotlight on his two solo releases, Teaser and Private Eyes, but the songs that he contributed to James Gang are pieces of priceless rock freshly drawn from the earth of rhythm and rhyme." ( The Ripple Effect (opens in new tab)) Bang feels less like a band album and more like talented studio musicians on the loose, but die-hard fans of either the Gang or the late Bolin will enjoy it, if only in fits and starts. "Even if Bolin's wistful Alexis doesn't fit with the other tracks it's a highlight, as is the opening rocker Standing in the Rain where conmen (" Your note said you went to Charleston/But I know you went to New Mexico") and cretins (" You left behind a dead father/A sick mother and 4 younger kids") are forced to face up to love.

In July 2017, while holding the position of Bergen County prosecutor prior to becoming New Jersey Attorney General, Gurbir Grewal ordered the Mahwah police department not to enforce a ban on non-New Jersey residents using parks in Mahwah, stating his concern that a ban could lead to anti-Semitic religious profiling against the growing population of Orthodox Jews in Mahwah and those visiting from neighboring Rockland County, New York.

Next to leave was Ramsey, which was created in 1908. 1894's outbreak of " Boroughitis" brought the creation of the boroughs of Allendale and Upper Saddle River, both of which were created from portions of Hohokus and Orvil Townships. Hohokus Township was first subdivided in 1886 with the creation of Orvil Township on both sides of the Saddle River, consisting of the eastern portion of Hohokus Township and the western portion of Washington Township. It extended from the Saddle River on the east to the western boundary of Bergen County with Passaic County and north to the New York border.

Their tribal office is located on Stag Hill Road in Mahwah, and the Chief of the Ramapough Lenape Indian Nation is Dwaine Perry (as of March 2007). The tribe is officially recognized by New Jersey, but does not have federal recognition. They number approximately 5,000 people living around the Ramapo Mountains of northern New Jersey and southern New York. Their descendants have combined with other Native Americans and ethnicities and were recognized in 1980 by the state as the Ramapough Mountain Indians.

New Jersey Monthly magazine ranked Mahwah as its ninth best place to live in its 2008 rankings of the "Best Places To Live" in New Jersey. On November 7, 1944, the area was incorporated by an act of the New Jersey Legislature as the Township of Mahwah, based on the results of a referendum held that day, replacing Hohokus Township.
